RESEARCH PAPERS

Candidates must pass all three elements of the MW exam in order to become a Master of Wine – first the practical papers and theory papers, then finally the research paper (the RP).

Here you will find the latest RPs on a variety of topics which have been written, marked and passed.

The topics cover almost every facet of the world of wine, from the causes of the 1911 Champagne riots to wine in 17th Century English poetry to more technical aspects of viticulture and wine production.

The aim of the RP is to examine whether a candidate possesses the required set of research, analytical, and communication skills to deliver an in-depth study report comparable to a professional piece of work commissioned by any member of the global wine community.

DOWNLOAD AN RP

Anyone can read an RP, you don’t have to be an MW, MW student or even in the wine trade. As these are exam papers, the IMW does not publish them, but a paper can be released to you after the IMW receives assurances that it won’t be published or disseminated further. However, some RPs are not available for reasons of commercial sensitivity. To download an RP, select the paper(s) you would like to read and agree to the terms and conditions.
